Sorry Michele, not to steal your thread but Dave just reminded me how I am seriously thinking about calling the city on my neighbor for having his sprinklers on continuously for 8 HOURS at night.

I am almost ready to pull 3 racks of BB's off the smoker. They look GREAT.
As usual, 2-3 hours into the cook, that divine aroma aroused my entire block.
Anyone else feel bad about teasing the neighbor's? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Michele,
Reading this thread, and Dave's post, reminded me of a recent occurance....
I was out on the deck, getting ready to start my smoke....had the chimney lit and starting to go when the neighbors walked by and said...."Man ! That smells great ! What are you cooking ?"
I told them "Newspaper !!!"
I don't understand why they don't speak to me anymore....

Fortunately, or unfortunately to Megan’s Law I have learned that my neighbor is a registered sex offender to a minor under 16. I have two girls, so if the wind blowing in his direction it is actually motivation to smoke like mad. Nice huh? Not to tease him with the great smell of Q, but to smoke him out of the neighborhood. Besides I live under the communist control of and an HOA, do I feel bad or feel guilty about smoking the place up,no and hell no!
Q'n, Golf'n & Grill'n.... too many choices!

p.s. Most people don't mind, but things have been a bit rough in my area in recent years.

If any of my neighbors ask me for food I'll serve them their dogs poop that I have to clean up out of my yard.
Maybe I'll scrape it off the bottom of my sneakers for them.
Do people with dogs know about leash laws.
I'm so confused as to why people think it's ok to let their dogs run loose through other peoples property? I'd just love to blast everyone of them with my 12.5 gauge turkey gun. How do you like me now.

Well I hope you never go postal with the neighbor's dogs. Or were you referring to the neighbors themselves? In that case I'd understand...
But here's something MUCH more humane and entertaining:

I have one of the cheaper Havahart models and I use it to keep my dog from barking at the neighbor. Works perfectly.

I really have a problem with spending money on something to eliminate my problem that so called Laws, which are not enforced should do so. No I want to blast the dogs. They are the ones doing number 2 in my yard.

I hear you. But you're paying for the lawmen that aren't doing their job. At least with this one you'll get you're money's worth in entertainment value.
The second video is particularly good.

Mike, if your sprinkler anti-bark system ceases to work, you might like the new-style citronella bark collars. My daughter uses one on her golden retriever and it works like a charm and is much better and kinder than the bark collars that shock the dog. It just emits a puff of citronella and will cut the dog off in early-bark. It can be pretty funny to watch them. They hate the citronella smell but it's not unpleasant to humans.

It works incredibly well and permanently so. After only a few days my dog wouldn't even go to that side of the house near that fence which is perfectly fine. He goes out there and not a peep out of him. Water sprays are incredibly effective with domestic animals. With judicious use of spray bottles inside I've stopped them from jumping and chewing and a number of other undesirable behaviors.

I got one of those for my miniature schnauzer when he was a pup to see if I could just curb his barking. After about two days and a snoot full of citronella he was depressed. I kid you not. If I pull that collar out, even today, he will start to mope around the house. I stopped using the collar because, well, he is a schnauzer and he talks a lot. I have two noisy girls, what’s a little more noise. The house did smell good though.

Michele,
Reading this thread, and Dave's post, reminded me of a recent occurance....
I was out on the deck, getting ready to start my smoke....had the chimney lit and starting to go when the neighbors walked by and said...."Man ! That smells great ! What are you cooking ?"
I told them "Newspaper !!!"
I don't understand why they don't speak to me anymore....

Dean,
Did you offer them a bite?

Dean,

Gary, maybe the collar emitted too much spray per puff?
I hear you with the barking! We had two miniature schnauzers many years ago who weren't too bad. I still miss them. Personality Plus. We now have Weber, our golden retriever...what a personality change! To keep this a bit on topic, they might have been a good comeback to aggravating neighbors.

don't get mad at the dogs. they are doing what comes naturally to them and have no clue whats going on. do as i did. i collected the "evidence" and then dumped it on the owners door step. no more poop after about a week.
